[School of Everything Else]
This one took a lot of consideration. We wanted to separate ourselves from the ragebait YouTubers who decided before it was even out that this was the worst TV show ever made. Even the thumbnail had to be put together in a way that conveys there are problems, but it's not because of BIG ANGRY WOMAN! (Seriously, what is it with basic dudes seeking attention and thumbnails of ladies mid-shout?)
We liked a lot about this long-awaited debut of the onscreen adaptation of John Byrne's reimagined fourth-wall-breaking sassy jade giantess. And the casting for starters was excellent, as was Tatiana Maslany's firecracker chemistry with Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock.
However, there are some deep-seated issues that go way beyond being so meta that you spend the climax of what would turn out to be your only season making multiple gags about how disappointing it is. It's a big old mixed bag, and we will be both ruthless and warm in our honesty. Ladies, gentlemen and all points in between of the jury, we present to you Exhibit S.

It’s one off villains and episodes is a great way to build out the universe. Because of New Asgard, their tech is being stolen and disseminated, and beings from other realms are mingling with ours. Doctor Strange means magic is out in the world and has a knock on effect. But 8 episodes, and Marvel keeping everyone separated means they can’t do any of that to the extent which they should.

So I disagree with you overall, but that’s cool I also like The Suicide Squad and, apparently, Daredevil more than you guys. One thing I think you guys missed, and sorta talked around, is this is a sitcom that only gets 8 episodes? They clearly had more ideas and story, but it’s all condensed to fit the streaming model. Which would have been great because this show is both suffering from and trying to fix the MCUs biggest issue. It’s somehow an incredibly small siloed universe.
